When I pay my mortgage online each month, there's a box for additional priciple
You need to make sure your extra money is going towards the principle, not just the loan at large (i.e. considered early payment of a future month).

The interest each month is based on the balance of the loan. So by paying down the balance (principle), it then makes a greater percentage of the monthly payment principle and less interest.
